Joseph Dunn translation
"Good, O Cuchulain," spake Ferdiad; "what has ever brought thee out to contend and do battle with me? For when we were 1together1 with Scathach and with Uathach and with Aifè, 2thou wast not a man worthy of me, for2 thou wast my serving-man, even for arming my spear and dressing my bed." "That was indeed true," answered Cuchulain; "because of my youth and my littleness did I so much for thee, but this is by no means my mood this day. For there is not a warrior in the world I would not drive off this day 3in the field of battle and combat."3
